When is the Vital Records Office open?

Why can’t I get my marriage license or divorce certificate?

You might not be asking the right office.

Marriage records from before June 1952 must be requested at the Probate Office in the county where the license was issued. The State Office of Vital Records can search and confirm only divorces that have taken place in Georgia from June 1952 to August 1996. Verifications prior to 1952 and after 1996 are only available from the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where the divorce was granted.
